Hi everyone!
Our School Intensive Swimming Program began yesterday
and will take place during Weeks 4 & 5. It is vital that we
keep our children safe in and around water. Our school
timetable is altered during this time to accommodate our
travel to and from the pool. Our break times will be as
follows: Lunch at 11.30am to 12.20pm and Afternoon Recess
from 2.50pm to 3.20pm. If any parents/carers can assist with
transport during the swimming program, please let me know
asap. Hot lunches have been cancelled—Weeks 4/5.
On Friday a representative will be visiting our school from
the ‘Responsible Pet Ownership’ program. She will bring her
pet dog and discuss how to care for and be safe around pets.
This will be an interactive workshop however the students
will not have contact with the dog. If parents/carers have any
questions, or do not want their children involved in this
program, please contact Mrs Miller or myself.
Students shared their Home Learning yesterday—it is great
to see the learning which is continuing after school.
Our students have demonstrated their 21st Century skills
through the Home Learning program—thank you to parents/
carers for supporting your child’s collaboration and
communication skills, and critical and creative thinking.
There will be no Home Learning issued during Weeks 4&5.
The teachers are attending workshops focusing on STEM,
(Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), sharing
ideas with other teachers and familiarizing themselves with
the new Science and Technology syllabus. Stay tuned for
more initiatives to develop our 21st Century skills...
Congratulations to our Super 8’s Cricket teams - both teams
had a very successful day. The Senior team came first and the
Junior team drew with Walbundrie for first place. Thank you
to the parents/community members who helped with
transporting, scoring, umpiring and/or managing our teams.
We appreciate your assistance for making it a great day!
On Tuesday 20th November we will have the Life Education
van visit our school. They will be offering three programs;
Waratah will learn about developing and maintaining safe
and respectful relationships both on and offline; Banksia will
learn about safety, decision making and coping strategies;
and the Pre School children will learn about healthy food
choices. There will be no charge for school students as the
school will cover the cost. We need a volunteer to drive the
van from Mulwala to Burrumbuttock, if you can assist please
contact me asap.
Mrs Sue Lowe, Hume Director of Schools, will be attending
our next P&C Meeting on Thursday 15th November at 7pm.
I encourage all parents/carers to attend as she will share her
data analysis to assist us with future planning in supporting
our students to achieve their personal best.
Regards Ms Lynne Johnston, Relieving Principal
